Ernest Goh | ‘Bleached Bones: Last Words of the Dead Spoken by a Dying Sea’

‘Bleached Bones’ is a visual catalogue of photographic prints by artist and photographer Ernest Goh. In this exhibition curated by Shireen Marican, bleached corals capture timeless, poignant last words of the departed.

Bleaching is a phenomenon when corals turn completely white after algae in their tissues are expelled when their waters are too warm — nature’s lasting reminder that climatic changes continue to influence ecological systems.

Ernest’s explorations across the shores of Nikoi Island in Indonesia led to a discovery of the unique formations of these bleached corals. In these, he finds a visual parallel to the alphabet system which he draws upon to contemplate lessons of life and living from death poems and last words.

This exhibition is presented by Blueprint Art Advisory. For information on exhibition programmes, please visit www.blueprintartadvisory.com/ernestgoh-bleachedbones

Exhibition is open 11 am – 7 pm daily.

Exhibition is closed 28 Jan – 2 Feb 2025 for Chinese New Year.

Solo Travel and Mental Health: Discovering Wellness Through Independence and Adventure

Solo travel offers a unique opportunity to connect with yourself while exploring new destinations. It allows you to escape from the pressures of daily life and take charge of your own journey. Through solo travel, you can find balance and nurture your mental well-being by stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing new experiences.

As you embark on a solo adventure, you’re free to set your own pace and choose activities that truly resonate with you. This autonomy fosters a sense of empowerment and personal growth. The journey itself becomes a path to self-discovery, offering insights into your own thoughts and feelings.

By immersing yourself in unfamiliar environments and cultures, you’re able to enjoy a mental reset. This break from routine opens the door to reduced stress and increased mental clarity. Through solo travel, you engage with the world in a way that promotes relaxation and rejuvenation, enhancing both your emotional and physical well-being.

The Intersection of Solo Travel and Mental Health

Solo travel presents opportunities for personal growth, self-awareness, and improved mental well-being. Understanding how empowering solo journeys, the psychological impacts of independent travel, and addressing loneliness can enhance this experience is essential.

Empowerment Through Solo Journeys

In embarking on a solo journey, you take full control of your experience and decisions. This empowerment can lead to increased self-confidence and independence. When traveling alone, you navigate new environments and challenges without relying on others, which fosters resilience and adaptability.

Moreover, every decision and its outcomes depend on you, boosting your self-esteem and encouraging self-discovery. This kind of travel lets you push personal boundaries and step outside your comfort zone, which is crucial for personal growth. The strength gained through these experiences contributes significantly to improved mental health.

The Psychology of Independent Travel

Independent travel offers numerous psychological benefits. By immersing yourself in unfamiliar cultures and surroundings, you develop a broader perspective of the world and your place in it. This exposure can increase empathy, patience, and cultural understanding, leading to a more open and accepting mindset.

The practice of intentional solitude during solo trips also permits you to engage in self-reflection, improving self-awareness and clarity. This mental reset reduces stress by breaking routine cycles and allowing you to recharge away from everyday pressures. Understanding this psychological impact can significantly aid your mental well-being.

Challenges and Overcoming Loneliness

While solo travel can be enriching, it may present challenges, such as feelings of loneliness. Addressing this loneliness involves strategies like joining group activities or engaging with locals, which can create fulfilling connections and enhance your travel experience.

Creating meaningful interactions with people along your journey not only helps combat loneliness but also enriches your understanding of diverse cultures. This can be achieved through participation in community events or taking part in tours, such as those offered by premium cruise lines, where you can escape routine through a sailing weekend and take advantage of the social opportunities that abound. Learning to overcome loneliness not only boosts your mental well-being but also empowers you to travel with confidence.

Cultivating Wellness Through Adventure

Adventure holds the potential to enrich your mental health, providing opportunities for cultivating mindfulness, building resilience, and fostering self-discovery. These elements are vital in enhancing overall well-being and creating lasting, positive changes in life.

Mindfulness and Presence in New Environments

Traveling solo allows you to immerse yourself fully in new settings. You have the freedom to engage with your surroundings in a way that resonates personally with you. Being present in unfamiliar places heightens your senses and awareness.

Incorporating daily mindfulness practices, such as meditation or mindful walking, helps anchor you in the moment and reduces stress. This approach to travel encourages you to truly experience each moment, fostering a deeper connection with the world around you.

Building Resilience on the Road

Facing challenges alone builds resilience, a vital skill in maintaining mental wellness. Unexpected situations on the road, such as language barriers or navigating unfamiliar cities, offer opportunities to problem-solve independently.

As you learn to adapt to these circumstances, confidence in your abilities grows. This newfound resilience transfers to other aspects of life, allowing you to better manage stressors and obstacles. Each journey contributes to a stronger, more capable mindset.

Self-Discovery and Personal Growth

Solo adventure is a powerful avenue for understanding and accepting yourself. Without external influences, you have the space to explore personal interests and passions. This journey of self-discovery allows you to reflect on life goals and desires in a meaningful way.

Engaging in new activities and environments can reveal hidden talents and inspire personal growth. You return from these adventures with a refreshed perspective and a clearer vision of your path forward, having tapped into deeper layers of your identity.

Keep Your Smile Bright & Clean: Top Tips for Healthy Teeth and Gums

A bright smile does more than make a good impression; it plays a key role in your overall well-being. A healthy smile can lift your confidence, boost self-esteem, and even improve your physical health. In Singapore, where health and wellness are priorities, maintaining a strong oral care routine is key. Discover these essential tips to keep your teeth in top shape, prevent common dental issues, and enjoy a beautiful, lasting smile.

1. Brush and Floss Properly Every Day

We all know brushing twice a day is essential, but how you brush can make a real difference. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, hold it at a 45-degree angle to your gums, and brush in small circular motions across all tooth surfaces. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can wear down enamel and irritate gums, and choose a fluoride toothpaste to strengthen teeth and keep cavities at bay.

Daily flossing is equally important, reaching places your toothbrush cannot and removing plaque and food particles that can lead to gum disease and cavities. Wrap about 18 inches of floss around your fingers, gently slide it between each tooth in a C-shape, and do not skip those hard-to-reach spots. For an extra boost, consider adding an alcohol-free mouthwash to your routine; it helps kill bacteria, reduces gum inflammation, strengthens enamel, and keeps your breath fresh throughout the day.

2. Limit Sugary and Acidic Foods and Drinks

Sugars and acids are major culprits in tooth decay and erosion. Sugary foods and beverages feed bacteria in your mouth, which produce acids that wear away at tooth enamel. Likewise, acidic drinks like sodas, citrus juices, and even certain sports drinks can weaken enamel, making teeth more vulnerable to cavities. Instead, choose tooth friendly options such as milk and green tea, which can help strengthen enamel, and maintain a balanced pH balance to reduce bacterial growth.

3. Stay Hydrated for Oral Health

Staying hydrated is essential for maintaining good oral hygiene. Water helps wash away leftover food particles and acids while also stimulating saliva production. Saliva plays a key role in keeping your mouth clean, neutralising acids, and even contains compounds that fight bacteria. Make it a habit to drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you enjoy coffee or tea, as these can be dehydrating and may cause staining. Keep a water bottle handy and take regular sips to keep both your mouth and body refreshed.

4. Schedule Regular Dental Check-Ups

Regular dental visits are essential, even with a thorough brushing and flossing routine. Professional cleanings can remove tartar and plaque that home care cannot reach, while check-ups allow dentists to catch early signs of gum disease, cavities, or even oral cancer. Aim for at least two visits per year for a comprehensive cleaning, though some people may need more frequent visits depending on their specific oral health needs.

Wondering who might be the affordable dentist in Singapore for you? Consider factors such as the range of services offered, location, friendliness, patient reviews, dentists’ qualifications and experience, and ease of booking. If you experience discomfort, bleeding gums, or any unusual changes, book an appointment promptly, as early detection often leads to simpler and more affordable treatments.

5. Eat a Balanced Diet

What you eat has a significant impact on your dental health. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, dairy products, lean proteins, and whole grains provides the nutrients needed to strengthen teeth and gums. Calcium and vitamin D-rich foods like milk, cheese, and leafy greens support enamel and bone health, while crunchy fruits and vegetables stimulate saliva flow, helping to clean teeth. Limit snacks between meals, as frequent snacking can lead to a constant supply of sugars in the mouth, fuelling bacterial growth. If you snack, choose options like apples, carrots, or almonds, which are both healthy and tooth-friendly.

6. Protect Your Teeth During Sports

If you participate in active sports, especially contact sports, wearing a mouthguard is crucial to prevent dental injuries such as chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth. Custom-fit mouthguards from a dentist would offer the best protection, fitting securely and comfortably to your teeth, unlike over-the-counter options.

7. Avoid Tobacco Products

Smoking and tobacco use are highly detrimental to oral health, causing yellowish or brown staining, bad breath, gum disease, and even oral cancer. Tobacco reduces blood flow to the gums, making it harder for them to heal and increasing the likelihood of gum infections. Avoiding or quitting smoking can prevent these stains, improve your oral health, and significantly reduce the risk of other serious health conditions.

8. Use a Mouthguard for Teeth Grinding

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a common issue that can gradually damage teeth, leading to chipping, fractures, and even jaw pain. Many people grind their teeth during sleep without realising it, often due to stress, anxiety, or sleep disorders. If you suspect you grind your teeth, consult your dentist, who may recommend a custom-fitted night guard to protect your teeth from grinding effects.

Conclusion: Consistency is Key

Good oral hygiene doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does require consistency. By adopting these essential habits and visiting your dentist regularly, you’ll not only maintain a healthy, bright smile but also support your overall well-being. Oral health is truly a lifelong commitment, and it’s never too early or too late to start making positive changes. Taking small steps today can save you from bigger dental issues in the future. A smile that’s well cared for is one of the best investments you can make for your health and confidence!

How to Stay Connected When in Singapore (WiFi, eSIM, SIM, Roaming)

Travellers visiting Singapore often find they need reliable internet to navigate this bustling city, keep in touch with family and friends, or share highlights from their trip online. While public Wi-Fi is widely available across the island nation, it can be unreliable and pose security risks. A stable connection throughout your journey offers the flexibility to plan day-to-day activities, make spontaneous changes, figure out your MRT route, or order a cab whenever needed. Find out how to get an uninterrupted and secure internet connection in Singapore for a worry-free travel experience in one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.

What Are the Best Ways to Get Internet Connection in Singapore?

Staying connected in Singapore is easy as visitors have various internet options. Make your decision based on how long your trip is, your budget, and the level of convenience you need while exploring the city. Here are some choices to consider:

  • International roaming: This service allows you to use your home mobile network while in Singapore by connecting to the city’s local networks. It enables calls, texts, and data usage abroad without changing SIM cards. Check your service provider’s international roaming rates before you depart for Singapore to see how affordable they are.
  • Local SIM cards: When you arrive in Singapore, either at the airport or a convenience store, buy a local SIM card and insert it into an unlocked phone. Once you do this, you’ll get access to local data, calls, and texts at reasonable rates. Activation is usually simple and offers flexibility for various trip durations.
  • eSIMS: An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into your smartphone, tablet, or wearable. All you need to do is select a data plan from an eSIM platform, which will be active as soon as you land in Singapore. This way, you’re spared the hassle of juggling physical SIMs during your travel.
  • Pocket Wi-Fi: Rent a pocket Wi-Fi device that connects to local networks and creates a personal Wi-Fi hotspot that supports multiple devices. You can rent one of these rechargeable gadgets online and pick it up at the airport before you depart for Singapore or when you land there.
  • Public Wi-Fi: Free public Wi-Fi is available at many shopping malls and tourist spots in Singapore, as well as at cafés, hotels, and the airport. It’s the most budget-friendly option for internet access, but it comes with security risks and is therefore not advised for online banking or prolonged use.

Are Travel eSIMs a Better Option for Short-Term Visits?

Travel eSIMs are one of the most convenient and quickest ways to stay connected for a month in Singapore. Unlike physical SIM cards, eSIMs don’t require swapping out your primary SIM. Instead, you simply download a data plan onto your compatible phone, and it’s instantly activated. eSIM providers like Saily offer packages specifically designed for visitors to Singapore, with simple setup instructions and plans that cover 7-30 days, depending on how long you’ll be in The Red Dot.

esim-data-plans

eSIMs offer significant benefits. You can keep your primary SIM active, so you can still receive calls or messages from your home network while using local data. They also tend to be cost-effective, especially for short-term data-centric needs. Many travel eSIMs provide competitive pricing compared to traditional roaming or local SIMs while offering similar coverage quality.

Is Getting a Local SIM Card in Singapore Worth It for Travellers?

A local SIM card can be a helpful option for visitors to Singapore who want to use their phones without relying on Wi-Fi. These SIM cards are available upon arrival at kiosks in Changi Airport and convenience stores throughout the city. They generally offer prepaid plans to suit different durations and data needs.

Activation is straightforward: simply insert the card into an unlocked phone to access the local network. Local SIM cards are designed to provide stable connectivity in the country, especially for those with high data needs for navigation, social media, or streaming.

sim-card-outside-phone

However, this solution is best suited to travellers planning an extended stay or those looking to avoid roaming fees from their original provider. For shorter visits or moderate data needs, other options like portable Wi-Fi or eSIMs can also be considered to stay connected without committing to a local data plan.

Can You Rely on Public Wi-Fi for Internet in Singapore?

This option works best if you need occasional internet access rather than continuous connectivity. You’ll find free Wi-Fi in popular spots like shopping malls, Changi Airport, and many cafés, making it convenient for looking up maps, quick message checks, or a brief chat with loved ones.

woman-mobile-phone-wifi-symbol

However, relying solely on public Wi-Fi has its drawbacks. Speeds can be inconsistent, especially in crowded areas, and the networks aren’t always secure, which can put your data at risk. If you use public Wi-Fi, use a VPN for safe browsing, especially if accessing sensitive sites like net banking. Save more intensive online activities, like streaming or navigation, for when you have a private connection.

Is Pocket Wi-Fi Worth It for Group Travellers?

Pocket Wi-Fi can be a worthwhile option if you’re heading to Singapore in a group, as you can simultaneously share an internet connection across multiple devices. Typically rented through providers like Changi Recommends or travel apps, pocket Wi-Fi creates a mobile hotspot that everyone can connect to, allowing groups to split costs. For instance, a daily rental fee shared among many people can be more affordable than individual SIMs. Pocket Wi-Fi units are easy to pick up at Changi Airport upon arrival, with straightforward return options before departure.

However, there are some limitations. The device must be carried and charged, so groups should plan for battery management, especially if they’re out for long periods. While convenient, carrying an extra device may feel cumbersome for tourists already managing several items. In addition, pocket Wi-Fi providers require a deposit, and you’ll have to pay extra if the device, charging cable, adapter, or carrying pouch is lost.

Is International Roaming a Good Option to Stay Connected in Singapore?

International roaming can be a convenient option for staying connected in Singapore, especially if you only visit briefly and prioritise simplicity. This way, you can use your existing SIM and phone number without switching plans or setting up a new service to check emails and maps and quickly browse the internet. This makes international roaming the most practical option for very short visits where you need reliable connectivity without the hassle of a local setup.

However, this convenience comes at a cost, as roaming charges can quickly add up, particularly with data usage. To keep a check on expenses, contact your service provider to find out about international data packages or daily plans. Major carriers often offer to help cap daily fees to avoid surprise charges.

Conclusion

Staying connected in Singapore offers flexible options for every sight-seer, from local SIMs and eSIMs to pocket Wi-Fi and international roaming. Your ideal choice depends on your budget, need for convenience, and data requirements. For added flexibility, consider combining solutions, like using an eSIM alongside public Wi-Fi. If you’re hopping between multiple APAC regions, look into regional connectivity options for broader coverage. Ultimately, picking the right internet option ensures a hassle-free experience, keeping you online for all your navigation, communication, and sharing needs.

Beat the Heat: 9 Tips to Stay Cool in Singapore’s Humid Climate

If you’ve been to Singapore, you already know the heat and humidity can hit hard. When you step off the plane, it’s like walking into a giant steamy sauna. If you are looking for ways to survive Singapore’s punishing heat, here are nine tried-and-true tips to help you beat the heat and keep your cool in the Lion City!

1. Dress for the Climate

First things first—what you wear makes all the difference. Stick to lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or moisture-wicking materials that allow air to flow and absorb sweat. Dark colours trap heat, so it’s best to use light shades that reflect the sun instead. You’ll also want to avoid anything too tight. Loose clothes are your best friend because they create that little breeze between you and the fabric. Trust me, in Singapore, you need all the airflow you can get!

INSIDER TIP: 

Carry a small towel or a bandana with you. It sounds old-school, but having something to dab your face or neck when you’re melting in the sun can feel like a game-changer.

2. Hydrate Like a Pro

I cannot stress this enough: stay hydrated! The humidity here doesn’t just make you sweat—it zaps your energy. The more you sweat, the more water (and electrolytes) you lose. If you’re walking around sightseeing or even doing daily errands, carry a bottle of water with you at all times. If plain water feels too boring, jazz it up with lemon slices or a splash of coconut water. Electrolyte drinks are also a great option for replacing those lost salts and minerals.

FUN HACK:

Infused water bottles are trendy for a reason! Pop in some mint leaves, cucumber slices, or berries in your water bottle, and boom—hydration just got fancy.

3. Time Your Outdoor Activities Wisely

The midday sun in Singapore can be brutal, and while everyone loves a good tan, let’s be real—it’s not worth the sweat-soaked shirt. Try to schedule any outdoor activities for the early morning or late afternoon, when the sun isn’t directly overhead. Bonus: You’ll get to enjoy the city’s parks or cultural sights with fewer crowds.

MY TAKE:

I’m a sunset person, so I love saving activities like exploring Gardens by the Bay in the late afternoon. Plus, the way the skyline lights up in the evening makes everything feel a little more magical.

4. Find Refuge in Air-Conditioned Spaces

Singapore is known for its towering malls, and I promise they’re not just for shopping. They’re a refuge from the relentless heat! Step inside for a cool-down session whenever you need it. Malls, cafes, and even public transportation are all air-conditioned, giving you plenty of options to chill out (pun intended) during the hottest parts of the day.

QUICK FIX:

When you’re out and about, look for one of the many convenience stores around Singapore. Grab a cold drink and soak up the cool air for a few minutes—it’s a quick, easy escape.

5. Use Cooling Skincare Products

This might sound like an unexpected tip, but investing in some cooling skincare products can make a difference. Gel-based moisturizers, cooling face mists, or even those cooling patches you stick on your neck or forehead are great for instant relief. Aloe vera gel is also a solid choice—it cools you down and calms any redness from the sun.

PERSONAL FAVORITE:

I always keep a small bottle of cooling face mist in my bag when I’m in Singapore. A spritz here and there is like giving yourself a mini spa treatment in the middle of a hot, sticky day.

6. Eat Light and Eat Right

It might be tempting to dive into a hearty plate of chilli crab or laksa (and trust me, you should), but heavy meals can make you feel sluggish in the heat. Try to opt for lighter meals during the day—think fresh fruits, salads, and soups. Eating spicy food can help too, as it makes you sweat, which cools your body down. Weird but true!

PRO TIP:

Coconut water is a lifesaver. It’s naturally cooling and packed with electrolytes. Bonus—it’s everywhere in Singapore, and nothing beats sipping straight from a fresh coconut on a hot day.

7. Portable Fans are a Lifesaver

This might sound silly, but having a small portable fan in your bag is one of the smartest things you can do. They’re light, USB-charged, and super effective at giving you a breeze when there’s none to be found. Pair this with a cool, damp cloth, and you’ve got yourself a portable air-con system!

MY GO-TO:

I once laughed at a friend for carrying one of these, but now I never leave home without one in Singapore. It’s been a total lifesaver, especially when you’re standing in line outdoors.

8. Take Cold Showers

This one’s a no-brainer but often overlooked! After a long day of exploring or working in Singapore’s humidity, a cold shower is exactly what your body needs. It instantly cools you down and leaves you feeling refreshed. If a cold shower is too extreme for you, try finishing your shower with cold water, just for a minute or two. It helps lower your body temperature before bed.

EXTRA TIP:

Keep your nighttime skincare routine in the fridge. Applying cold moisturizer or toner after a shower feels heavenly, and it’s a great way to stay cool before hitting the sheets.

9. Enjoy Cold Treats (Guilt-Free!)

Finally, what’s better than cooling off with something cold and delicious? Singapore has no shortage of cold treats—from icy fresh fruit juices to local favourites like Chendol or ice kacang. If you’re at a hawker centre, take a break and treat yourself to something refreshing. It’s not just about beating the heat—these treats are part of the local food culture, and enjoying them is all part of the fun.

BEST PICK:

I personally love mango shaved ice—it’s sweet, refreshing, and perfect for that mid-afternoon cooldown. Plus, it gives you an excuse to take a break from the sun!

Singapore’s heat might be fierce, but don’t let it dampen your plans. With these tips, you’ll not only stay cool but also enjoy the Lion City without sweating the small stuff. Stay chill and embrace the tropical vibes!

4 Best Clinics in Singapore for Breast Lift: 2025 Guide

We cannot stop the passing of time and the changes in the human body that come with ageing. More so for women who need to deal with menopause, wrinkles, and sagging breasts. Thank goodness for science! Now, some of our ageing issues can be easily addressed with the help of plastic surgeons.

If you are planning to perk up your boobies, this article might be of help to you! We did our own research to provide you, our dear reader, with helpful information that could aid you in your decision to undergo a breast lift surgery in Singapore. Read on until the end, and after reading, we hope that you have gained useful insights and feel more confident about going under the knife.

WHAT IS BREAST LIFT?

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a plastic surgery procedure where excess skin in the breast area is removed and tissues are reshaped to raise the breasts.

WHO NEEDS A BREAST LIFT?

Breast lift is recommended for women who have the following conditions:

  • Sagging breasts
  • Nipples that fall below the breast crease
  • Nipples that point downward
  • Disproportionate areolae
  • Asymmetric breasts

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BREAST IMPLANT AND BREAST LIFT?

Breast implants increase the size of the breasts, whereas, a breast lift primarily changes the position of the breast. A breast lift sometimes involves breast reduction.

IS THE SCAR VISIBLE?

Scarring after a breast lift surgery depends on the technique used by your plastic surgeon. Most doctors nowadays aim for minimal scarring. Normally, incisions for breast lift surgeries are very thin and the scar will eventually fade and flatten out.

HOW LONG IS THE DOWNTIME?

Initial healing will take 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery is expected within 4 to 6 weeks.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST FOR A BREAST LIFT IN SINGAPORE?

The cost for a breast lift procedure in Singapore ranges between S$5,000 and S$12,000.

WHERE TO GET BREAST LIFT IN SINGAPORE?

Breast lifts can only be done by a licensed plastic surgeon. There are several clinics that offer this service in Singapore. To choose among the best clinics available, read on for our list of 4 best clinics in Singapore for breast lift.

Top 5 Modern Bedroom Designs in Singapore You’ll Love in 2025

Are you planning to update your bedroom in 2025?

A quick look at the trends from Singapore’s top interior design companies shows that this year’s top choices include sleek minimalist designs, modern luxurious styles, and nature-inspired concepts. Clients prefer designs that combine visual appeal with functionality while maximizing every available space in the bedroom.

With the global drive towards Earth-friendly practices, it is no surprise that Singapore homeowners also opt for eco-friendly and sustainable materials that help reduce environmental impact without compromising beauty or practicality.

If you want inspiration for your new bedroom concept, here are the top 5 modern bedroom designs in Singapore you’ll love in 2025.

These trending designs blend style and comfort, offering a relaxing retreat when you decide to hit the sack after a long day.

1. Modern Minimalist

The minimalist design never goes out of style and remains popular for modern bedrooms in Singapore. Minimalist bedrooms are simple with clean lines and uncluttered spaces, underscoring the principle of “less is more.” The use of light tones such as whites, beiges, and soft greys amplifies natural light, making the room feel more spacious.

The minimalist design highlights functionality, as each piece of furniture serves a purpose, reducing clutter and keeping your room more organized. This approach not only makes homes easier to maintain but also promotes a more mindful lifestyle, making it a popular choice for modern living.

2. Sleek and Luxurous

If you want a bedroom that exudes sophistication, the modern luxurious bedroom design is ideal for you. Think of high-end materials, plush fabrics, and statement lighting that create a sense of opulence. Darker colour schemes like deep blues, emerald greens, and gold accents are trending in 2025, giving the room a rich and cosy ambience.

This design is recommended if you want your bedroom to feel like a personal luxury hotel, perfect for indulging in a bit of glamour and comfort.

3. Wood Accents

Wood accents are making a strong comeback in 2025, infusing modern bedroom designs with natural, rustic charm. Whether it’s a stylish wooden headboard, elegant bedside tables, or warm wooden flooring, incorporating wood into your bedroom adds warmth and texture, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. The versatility of wood allows homeowners to choose from a variety of finishes, ranging from polished dark woods that provide a refined, sophisticated look to lighter, raw woods that evoke a more organic, earthy feel. 

This trend not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space but also promotes a connection to nature, making it an ideal choice for contemporary homes.

4. Sustainable Materials

Sustainability is becoming a major trend in Singapore and homeowners are increasingly integrating locally sourced materials into their bedroom designs. This eco-conscious approach not only supports local artisans and craftspeople but also significantly reduces the environmental footprint of their homes. 

By choosing natural materials like bamboo, rattan, or recycled wood, homeowners are creating spaces that feel authentic and personal while promoting sustainability. These materials add unique textures and warmth to a room, combining style with environmental responsibility. Additionally, opting for locally sourced elements helps reduce transportation emissions and fosters the use of renewable resources, making it a thoughtful choice for a greener future.

5. Smart Integration

Bedroom designs with smart technology integration are gaining popularity as homeowners seek more convenience and comfort. These modern spaces feature automated systems that control lighting, temperature and even window blinds through voice commands or smartphone apps. Smart mattresses with adjustable firmness and sleep tracking add another layer of personalization, while integrated sound systems and ambient lighting enhance relaxation.

This tech-savvy approach not only makes everyday tasks easier but also elevates the overall bedroom experience. Homeowners love it for its blend of functionality and luxury, offering a customized space that adapts to their needs and preferences effortlessly.
